[Intro]
Ab                             Db7
The politics of nations got me down
Ab                        Db7
Geography and policy have run me out of town
           F7
Seems like worldly things have come between
   Absus2
Us now
          Ab
But I've got the will and if there's a way
     G
I'll get to you somehow

[Chorus 1]
          C G       F       G       C
Omobolasire,   I really wanna see ya
C         A F    G7sus4        G         C
Omobolasire,   hang on because I'm on my way


[Verse 1]
C G           Bb  F
    She is my lover
C G          Bb        F
    From the heart of Africa
C G         Bb F
    Like no other
C G          Bb     F
    Princess of Nigeria
C G           Bb  F
    I was delirious
C G          Bb         F
    Yea that sun was beating down
C G          Bb   F
    Lady mysterious
C G           Bb       F
    Like an oasis that I found

[Pre-chorus]
             G
And then she smiled
F            G
And then she came
F            G
And when she spoke
                    G G
She told me her name

[Chorus 2]
          C G       F       G       C
Omobolasire,   I really wanna see ya
C         A F    G7sus4        G         C
Omobolasire,   hang on because I'm on my way


[Verse 2]
C G                   Bb  F
    Short cut through Lagos

C G             Bb           F
    Through the market place together

C G             Bb    F
    Was getting serious

C G              Bb              F
    I could have stayed that way forever

C G            Bb  F
    As fate dictated
C G          Bb           F
    I had to go back home to London

C G            Bb   F
    My heart vibrated

[Pre-chorus]
          G                       G G
Because I knew I had to get to you

[Chorus]
          C G       F       G       C
Omobolasire,   I really wanna see ya
C         A F    G7sus4        G         C
Omobolasire,   hang on because I'm on my way

[Verse 3]
D A                C     G
    Then came that sad day

D A               C                G
    A flight from Heathrow back to Lagos

D A              C    G
    Desperate to see ya

D A          C             G
    But they would not let me through


[Pre-chorus]
           A
What can I do?
G              A
'Cept write to you
G         A                       A A
And every day my letters will say
